This community was shocked last .
Saturday evening Dy me suuueu
of Clarence Larson. He and yo?S
er brother Leo had loaded the eled
with sacks filled with potatoes they
had been picking up to haul to the
house, Leo stepped upon the sled and
took the lines, and Clarence was get
ting on behind when Leo heard the
report of the gun which they had
taken to the field, and glancing back
was horrified to ee his brother just
falling. ; - ; '
He screamed loudly for help, then
dragged him on to the sled and hur
ried for the house with such speed
that twice the body slipped off, and
the terrified boy managed to get it
on again. His mother heard him and
ran to meet him, and still no one came,
and they two carried him somehow
into the kitchen and laid him on the
floor, when Leo stripped the harness
from one of the horses and went as
fast as he could urge the horse after
his brother Charlie, who immediately
phoned for another brother at Tua
latin and others, and hastened to his
father's house, where neighbors had
arrived and "were doing what they
could. The mother could not be quiet
ed, and wa,s upon the verge of insanity
when Dr. Mount arrived and admin
istered a sedative which undoubtedly
saved her from nervous prostration.
The poor father, who Is disabled by
noraivtiK etrnkf received a number
of years ago, and just able to get about
slowly, seemed at nrst aazea. uui
be began to realize his loss his grief
was pitiful. It is thought that the
hammer of the gun must have caught
on the sled and discharged it, th-ball
entering the left eye and coming out
the back of the head. The funeral
was held on Monday at the Baptist
Church at 10 a. m., and the services
conducted by Rev. Weahlte. and he
was laid to rest in the Stafford Ceme
tery. His school mates were his pall
bearers, and a long procession fol
lowed him to the grave.
The grave was heaped with flowers.
The death leaves the old father with
but the one son a boy of 14 at home,
but the married sons came to finish up
the fall work we understand.
The weather has been delightful for
the last couple of weeks, and people
are burning brush, plowing and hur
rying in spuds, in anticipation of the
inevitable Oregon rainy spell.
The schoolmaster laments so many
of his pupils absent.
The Delkar boys have begun their

SUMMARY OF ELECTION.
Hearst Defeated in New York Ohio
Goes Democratic
Washineton. Nov. 8. The election
of John M. Pattison, Democrat, as
Governor of Ohio, by approximately
40.000 plurality over Myron T. Mer
rick, the present Republican Governor;
a" Democratic working majority in
both houses of the Ohio Legislature:
an- immediate appeal of William R.
Hearst, the Municipal Ownership can
didate for the New York Mayoralty to
the Supreme Court to contest McClel
lan's election in that city on the basis
of alleged evidence of wholesale il
legal acts at the polls; a plurality oi
3485 vots for McClellan. and Immedi
ate contest by the fusionists in Louis
ville in the courts against the election
of Democratic municipal officers and
members of the Legislature were tne
developments in today's election af
termath. McClellan's plurality is the mini
mum on record for a successful candi
date in New York. Mr. Hearst's man
agers claim evidence of illegal acts
against 1000 inspectors of election and
that 30,000 of his adherents were turn
ed back Irom the polls because their
names already had been voted. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome has announced
that he will make a searching investi
gation of the alleged wholesale frauds
and has ordered the returns from the
Eighteenth and Sixteenth Assembly
Districts to be carefully guarded.
These are the home divisions of the
Tammany leader, Murphy, and Timo
thy Sullivan.
In Louisville the Fusion party man-1
agers claim a non-election in 14 pre
cincts because of disappearance of
election paraphernalia; that Demo
cratic workers confiscated the ballot
boxes in 14 other precincts and al- .
lowed falsification of returns and al
lege activity of "thugs" and repeaters.
All through the belated returns
showed Republican losses and the Re
publicans concede that Pattison's
plurality reaches 25,000. The Demo
crats claim that Pattison's plurality
approximates 55.000, which would elect
the entire Democratic ticket. Re
publicans concede the Democrats be
tween two and five majority in the
Senate and from 10 to 15 in the House,
while the Democrats claim five in the
Senate and 27 in the House.
The city party (reform) plurality
in Philadelphia is 43.333 for sheriff,
and the Fusionist candidate for State
Treasurer (Berry) carried the -lty
by over 36,000 plurality. The upheav
al was the greatest in Pennsylvania for
many years.
In Rhode Island , the Republican
Gubernatorial candidate has a plural
ity estimated at 5,000, and Providence
elects a Republican Mayor for the first
time in many years.
In Massachusetts Democratic
threats are made of a recount of the
vote for Lieutenant Governor. The
Republicans in Massacvhusetts have
23.116 plurality for Gould for Governor,
though Draper, for Lieutenant-Governor,
got less than 2000 plurality. The
Democrats gained three Senators and
one Representative in the Legislature,
ture.
Every candidate of the Union Lanor
riarty in San Francisco was elected
by a substantial majority.
In Salt Lake the anti-Mormon vic
tory is made complete by the election
of the entire American party city tick
et. The Kentucky Legislature, which
will elect a successor to Senator Black
burn, apparently will include 31 Dem
ocrats, five Republicans and two
doubtful in the Senate, and 79 Demo
crats, 14 Republicans and seven doubt-
ful in the House. The Democrats
elected a Mayor in Louisville by about
2500.
Nebraska was carried by the Repub
licans. Returns from other states
and citiesshow notable changes.
